Welcome to 16 2nd Street, a 20' wide, 3,200 square foot single-family townhouse where historic craftsmanship and refined modern living coexist in perfect balance. Set on a picturesque, quiet tree-lined block in Carroll Gardens, this four-story home with cellar and air rights is introduced by a renovated front courtyard-creating an elegant and secure sense of arrival. An architect-led, top-to-bottom restoration returned the home to its original 1875 character while seamlessly integrating contemporary infrastructure. Original pine hardwood floors, window moldings, plasterwork, doors, and the central stair have been meticulously preserved, while discreet upgrades maintain generous ceiling heights and clean architectural lines throughout.

The classic townhouse layout offers exceptional flexibility, with gracious front and rear rooms connected by a central deep zone that enhances privacy, flow, and functionality. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring a walk-in pantry and powder room. Custom cabinetry is paired with stainless steel-fronted base cabinets beneath a striking 4' x 8' Caesarstone counter. Porcelain tile floors and Bisazza glass tile backsplashes frame the space, while a Bertazzoni five-burner gas rang
